  • How often should I visit my diabetologist?

    Visiting a diabetologist every 3 to 6 months is essential for effectively managing diabetes. However, consultation frequency should increase if blood sugar levels fluctuate frequently or if new health complications arise.

  • Does Gleneagles prescribe diets for a diabetic person?

    A diabetic person needs to follow a diet containing whole grains alongside vegetables, lean proteins, and healthy fats, along with proper portion control for disease control. Our dietitians work dedicatedly to develop individualised eating plans that match your personal requirements.

  • What is metabolic syndrome, and how is it treated?

    Metabolic syndrome refers to a group of conditions that include elevated blood sugar levels, high blood pressure, excessive abdominal fat distribution, and abnormal cholesterol patterns.
